Dialog box section Dimensions
Update levels
If you activate the tick box, ATHENA updates the levels on opening a drawing. We recommend this option when you have modified the levels file (ath_hkote.dwg) and this modification is to take effect in the existing drawings.
This tick box does not function if the Scalability (label objects) uses levels.
If scalable levels are to be able to be updated, the levels must be defined as label objects in the definition drawings. With such levels the scalability can then no longer be inhibited!
Underline definition dimensions
If you deactivate the tick box, dimension figures of dimensions, which have been created with the command Define interrupted dimension, are no longer underlined.
Underline dependent dimensions
If you deactivate the tick box, dimension figures of dimensions, which have been created with the command Set interrupted dimensions, are no longer underlined.
Underline overwritten dimensions
If you deactivate the tick box, dimension figures which have been overwritten are no longer underlined.
If you deactivate the three tick boxes for underlining dimensions, differentiation between virtual and true dimensions is no longer possible. We recommend that these tick boxes are not deactivated!
Dimension distance factor
Here you specify the base line distance between automatically generated dimensions.
The distance is a factor taken into account in the dimension figure height and the distance of the dimension figure to the base line.
Dimension distance = Factor*dimscale*(dimgap*2+dimtext)
